About
Andrew Peach is a leading figure in synchrotron-based crystallography, whose work has revolutionized small-molecule single-crystal X-ray diffraction. His primary research focuses on developing advanced instrumentation for beamlines, particularly at Diamond Light Source, where he has driven innovations in diffractometer design and detector integration. Peach’s most notable contribution is the creation of a novel dual air-bearing fixed-χ diffractometer, detailed in his highly cited 2017 paper (67 citations). This instrument, paired with a Dectris Pilatus 2M pixel-array photon-counting detector, enables rapid, high-quality data collections while supporting remote operation—a critical advancement for modern, high-throughput crystallography. By overcoming mechanical limitations and optimizing beamline efficiency, Peach’s work has significantly accelerated structural determination of small molecules, impacting fields from materials science to pharmaceutical development. His achievements underscore a commitment to pushing the boundaries of synchrotron instrumentation, making him a key resource for researchers seeking cutting-edge diffraction solutions.
